Our House Building Progress- Part 2

This is the most current exterior photo of our house. For the exterior of the house we still have to hang our gas lantern above the front porch and hang the shutters. This week we will finish laying the sod and all of the landscaping should be completed as well. 

We are moving right along, but we still have five more weeks to go before we move in.

We've come a long way since January. Let me catch you up from the first House Building Progress post. 

They finished roofing the back of the house.

The dormers are now set on the front of the house.

Bricking began . . .

Then they bricked the front porch.

 Insulation installed.

 Now we have walls.

 Our master bedroom.

We wanted to bring several different architectural features in our new house and this brick wall in our dining room was one of the ways we did just that. I could not be any happier with the way it turned out!

Interior doors installed.

Beginning the first coat of paint in the foyer.

Crown moulding and trim being installed in the master bath.

Here are a few materials that we have picked out for the master bathroom . . .

. . . and for one of the upstairs bathrooms.

In the half bathroom downstairs I found a reclaimed cabinet to use for the vanity, which I'm so excited about.

Now the driveway, sidewalk, and extra back patio are poured. 

Next we will install flooring, cabinets, counter tops, plumbing fixtures, and lighting.

It's all coming together- it won't be long until we move in! 

Thanks for stopping by.

Our House Building Progress

Here is what our house looks like as of this week. All of the framing is completed. We still have to add two roof dormers on the main part of the house, put the front door and back door in before we begin the roof and the brick process. 

This is our vacant lot in the very beginning phase of the building process, we had to clear the back side of the lot first, and then we staked it off.

Digging the footings.

Pouring the slab.

The first wall going up.

Now we have the second floor.

The back of the house. 

The back porch.

Sheathing and rafters complete.

This is the brick color we are going with on our house. After so many options we finally decided to go with this one. I never knew how stressful it was to choose a brick color!

Setting the rafters over the garage.

The stairs in the front foyer.

The fireplace is now framed.

We are SO excited and cannot wait to move in this spring!
